Small spots of orange can be seen in ditches and other areas. The Spotted Touch-me-not, or Orange Jewelweed, is a native flower which grows 3 to 5 feet tall. Hummingbirds feed on the flower’s nectar and when the seed pods are ripe, the seeds explodes out of the pods if they are touched, which is where the name ‘touch-me-not’ comes from.
